A Whole New World

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming
A whole new [...]

The More You Get, The More You Want … The More You Want, The Less You Get

May sound complicated or felt like silly game of words. It is actually a simple human nature. Look into yourself and others nearby, and you will find it inherent to almost every human being. It is about being greedy, it is about thirst for material belongings. Something you will not bring along when you die.

What a Lonely Birthday

Born and raised in a Moslem family we did not really appreciate birthdays, especially those at Christian calendar. When I grew older into more secular belief, I do not really hold on to it any longer. Still I did not really appreciate birthdays for different reasons. What is it to celebrate of getting older, getting [...]


Dream On #2

It is not a review nor a product intro, just an amazed expression when seeing these ads. When I can only dream for a lens which costs only a few hundreds bucks, the feeling is just like sitting on my creepy moped looking at a brand new Harley.

Dream On!

As a photographer wannabe, lenses turn me on. Whilst I should honestly admit that I am just a novice hobbyist, I do understand the good and the bad (if there any) of certain lense characteristics, and how prices work. Just like male erection, it is all about length and width. The longer the focal length [...]


Teknik SEO Indonesia

Masih terkaget-kaget saya mendapati blog yang saya mulai lima hari sebelumnya, bertajuk Teknik SEO Indonesia, kemarin melejit ke puncak hasi pencarian Google untuk kata kunci yang ditargetkan. Sekarang saya kembali terkejut dengan reaksi sosial yang ditimbulkan. Hari ini saya melihat posisi website yang saya tujukan sebagai media idealisme saya melorot ke posisi ke-3. Sedih? Kecewa?

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari

It is quite a while ago when I found and read the book. It was actually the second book of Robin Sharma I read. There were a few more titles which I planned to buy after I finished this one. So unfortunate that the books were no longer available in any bookshops in town recently. [...]


Stop thinking! Just do as I told you to.

Sounds an extremely rude sentence. But sometimes it just really at the end of my tongue, ready to jump out. Imagine that you are dancing among numerous top priority items. You gave an instruction to one of your staff to work on one of them. You give them clear instructions. You are forced to wait [...]


Best food in the world.

Just saw a small article in a magazine talking about Turkish food. The news is basically talking about Turkish food festival held in a big hotel, in cooperation between the hotel’s management and local Turkish Embassy. It wasn’t taking my attention until a phrase saying “it is commonly believed that Turkish food is among the [...]


From competing to collaborating.

As my weekend ritual, I spent some time at the bookshop over the weekend. Scanning a long cascade of bookshelves I was interested by a title of book written by an Indonesian author titled “from Competing to Collaborating”. I ran through the book in a glance and found nothing special inside, so I did not [...]
